Review your instructor response to your clinical question on the Week 4 discussion board for guidance before you start this assignment.

The clinical question should be written using the intervention format: In elderly patients (P), how does the implementation of a fall risk protocol (I) compared to none (C), affect the number of falls (O) within hospitalization (T)?
Use your clinical question to create keywords and complete a literature search using the Galen library database. Start early in the week so that you can contact the Galen librarian for guidance on searching the databases as needed. The librarians are available online via live chat or by placing a support ticket.
Find and save full text (PDF) of 3 research articles (primary or secondary research studies based on high levels of evidence) dated within the past 5 years. Do not use lower levels of evidence articles such as quality improvement project, scoping review, literature review or integrative review.
Select articles that show your nursing intervention is effective in achieving your desired outcome stated in your clinical question. For example, if you plan to implement yoga as a nursing intervention to enhance weight loss, all 3 studies must find (reported under the results/findings section) that yoga is an effective weight-loss strategy. If you cannot find studies to support your intervention and outcome, consider the need to edit your intervention and outcome within the clinical question. Then, repeat the literature search using the revised keywords.
Use a total of 4 sources, including the 3 research articles and the assigned course textbook.
Use 1 to 2 short, direct quotes and multiple paraphrases as supportive evidence throughout the paper with in-text citations and matching references formatted in APA style.
Each short, direct quote should contain less than 20 words.
Each paragraph should contain a minimum of 4 sentences and a maximum of 6 to 8 sentences.
Complete a 4-page APA formatted paper (excluding the title and reference pages) to include the following:
1. Introduction (1 paragraph): Use the selected articles as sources as you:
Identify and introduce a nurse-related topic of interest.
Describe your interest in the topic.
Include a purpose statement.
2. Clinical Question (1 sentence): State your nurse-driven intervention clinical question. Do not discuss the PICOT components.
3. Justification of the Topic (1 paragraph): Discuss one reason why this topic should be investigated and provide an in-text citation to support your claim for the reason.
4. Findings (3 paragraphs): Paraphrase the 3 research articles with in-text citations to report a summary of the findings. Do not use direct quotes. Summarize each article in one paragraph by identifying the:
Type of study (for example: quantitative or qualitative) or specific research design if stated (for example: systematic review or randomized controlled trial).
Purpose of the study.
Description of the sample (describe the sample characteristics and state the number of participants).
Methods (describe the data collection and data analysis procedures)
Results (Explain the findings and include statistical significance such as p value or numerical data for quantitative results and themes/concepts for qualitative results).
State how the study findings support the nursing intervention in your clinical question.
5. Recommendations (1 paragraph): Based on your findings, use evidence with in-text citations from the research findings to discuss two recommendations for improving clinical practice (bedside and patient care). Support each recommendation with evidence.
6. Conclusions (1 paragraph): Provide a concise summary of the evidence on the topic and state how the evidence you found support your clinical question. Do not include new information.
